When does kinky porn become illegal?

A bill outlawing the possession of "extreme pornography" is set to become law next week. But many fear it has been rushed through and will criminalise innocent people with a harmless taste for unconventional sex.

BBC News article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7364475.stm



WHAT IS EXTREME PORNOGRAPHY?
As defined by the new Criminal Justice Bill:
An act which threatens or appears to threaten a person's life
An act which results in or appears to result in serious injury to a person's anus, breasts or genitals
An act which involves or appears to involve sexual interference with a human corpse
A person performing or appearing to perform an act of intercourse or oral sex with an animal

The problem with this Bill is the words "appears" and "appearing".
